Los Angeles’ Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley, along with other central valley cities, has not maintained the best reputation. But what most people may not know is that Van Nuys is a diverse area with a rich history. It is full of historical landmarks, recreational facilities and government buildings. Young kids in the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s and up until the 80’s, used to cruise up and down the city’s central artery, Van Nuys Blvd, on a Friday or Saturday night. This scene was so popular, movie-makers made a feature film about it in 1979 called Van Nuys Boulevard. Today, the famous Van Nuys Blvd. is home to many stores.
